Distinguished Service Cross

Distinguished Service Cross Recipients

1918 to Present

The Distinguished Service Cross is the second highest military award that can be given to a member of the United States Army for extreme gallantry and risk of life in actual combat with an armed enemy force. Actions that merit the Distinguished Service Cross must be of such a high degree that they are above those required for all other U.S. combat decorations but do not meet the criteria for the Medal of Honor. The Distinguished Service Cross was first awarded during World War I. During World War I, at least 154 members of the 16th Infantry Regiment were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Regimental members from World War II were awarded 94 DSCs (53 for D-Day alone) and a total of 10 DSCs were awarded to 16th Infantry Soldiers during the Vietnam conflict.
